At this time, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo walked into the yard, bringing a gust of wind towards her, blowing her sleeves and hair.

She frowned slightly, and her steps were steady but with a hint of anxiety.

Seeing the Sixth Madam kneeling outside Lin Ruoxuan's courtyard gate, her eyes fixed on her humble figure, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo frowned even more.

She did not speak immediately, but remained silent for a while and slowly walked in front of the Sixth Madam.

"Sixth brother's wife, what's going on?" She said in a calm tone, but with a certain authority that could not be ignored. "You are the eldest lady of the sixth house, how can you kneel in front of a junior?"

"Not only is this against the rules, but if word gets out, I'm afraid even Ruoxuan and Nanyuan will be criticized and talked about. If there is something, just discuss it properly. Why do this?"

The Sixth Madam raised her tearful eyes and saw the concern on the face of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, but she felt an irrepressible sense of grievance in her heart.

She couldn't help sobbing, tears falling like beads from a broken string, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, Nan Yuan is really too much! He is unscrupulous, he wants to force my brother to death, and destroy the entire Sun family! Ruoxuan and Nan Yuan have pushed the Sun family to a dead end in order to vent their anger. I... I have no other choice but to come and plead with them. Otherwise, the Sun family will really be finished!"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo listened and was stunned for a moment. She did not expect the Sixth Lady's words to be so fierce.

She looked a little serious and frowned, "Nan Yuan would never do such a thing. He never acts on personal feelings. There must be some misunderstanding. If you have any difficulties, let's discuss it together."

However, the Sixth Lady seemed not to be listening to what the Lady of Zhenguo said anymore and became even more agitated.

She lowered her head again and said in a sad voice, "Misunderstanding? Sister-in-law, how could the Sun family be in this state? Nan Yuan obviously forced the Sun family into a desperate situation because of Lin Ruoxuan. How could Nan Yuan not blame them at all? He forced my brother to go to jail. The entire Sun family has reached a dead end. I really have no other choice but to come and plead with Ruoxuan and Nan Yuan. If they don't agree, the Sun family may never survive again!"

Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across the eyes of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. She shook her head and calmly advised: "Sixth brother's wife, Nanyuan will never let the Sun family end up in such a situation. You can't just look at the surface. There must be a misunderstanding. If there is really a problem, we can discuss it properly. Why be so extreme?"

But the Sixth Madam still shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I am not wrong. It is him and Nan Yuan who are wrong! If he doesn't let the Sun family live, I will have nowhere to go! Sister-in-law, if you want me to get up, then let Ruoxuan and Nan Yuan speak. As long as he is willing to let the Sun family go, I will get up immediately!"

At this time, the ladies from the nearby rooms also stepped forward to persuade the Sixth Madam.

However, she remained stubborn and refused to stand up.

The third lady stood in the corner of the crowd, watching this scene, her face as pale as paper.

She took a deep breath and a chill rose in her heart.

She suddenly realized that the Sixth Madam's appearance at this moment seemed to be her future.

The third lady stood at the edge of the crowd, her eyes fixed on the sixth lady.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, please ask Nanyuan to let the Sun family go. We can't just watch the Sun family fall and do nothing."

Her voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone around to hear.

The Third Lady's words were a little anxious, but it was difficult to hide the fear in her heart.

The previous offense against Lin Ruoxuan was done by her and the Sixth Madam together.

If the Sun family is finished, her mother's family will not have a good ending either.

The Third Madam's tone became more sincere and heartfelt, "If Nanyuan's suppression of the Sun family is really for revenge, then it's too much."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a slight sound of footsteps.

Hongya and Luqiao didn't dare to stand at the gate any longer, and whispered, "The lady is here."

They hurriedly stepped back, leaving a gap.

I saw Lin Ruoxuan appear in the yard.

Her steps were not hurried and her eyes were gentle, but her calmness and composure made the whole yard suddenly quiet.

Everyone knew that everything that happened next would depend entirely on her words.

Lin Ruoxuan stood in the yard, her eyes swept over the Sixth Madam who was kneeling on the ground, as if she had already anticipated this scene.

She pursed her lips slightly, feeling a little cold in her heart, but she didn't show it.

"Sixth Aunt." Lin Ruoxuan spoke, her voice cold and with a rare hint of tenderness, "Why did you do such an extreme thing?"

The Sixth Madam raised her moist eyes, a hint of hesitation flashed across them, but then she clutched her clothes tightly and decided to continue to stick to her position.

"Ruoxuan," Madam Six whispered, her tone full of pleading, "Ruoxuan, you also know the plight of the Sun family now. My brother is already in prison. Without your and Nanyuan's forgiveness, even if he doesn't die, he is doomed to fail."

"Now all my brother asks for is a chance to live as a civilian. Even if he is exiled to a remote place, it is better than the current death."

Her voice got lower and lower, she could hardly stop her tears, and the heavy heart made it hard for her to breathe.

She had no way out. The Sun family and herself were facing a life-and-death situation.

Lin Ruoxuan looked at her, and there seemed to be a slight fluctuation in her eyes, but she did not express her opinion immediately.

She lowered her eyelids slightly, having already made up her mind, but these words were not the ones that should be spoken now.

"Sixth Aunt." She spoke again, this time in a calmer tone, "I can't just interfere in the business between men. Nan Yuan has his own considerations for everything he handles. As a wife, I dare not ask about it easily."

She paused, stood up straight, and her eyes softened a little: "However, if you want me to come forward to persuade him, I will do my best. But as for whether I can change his decision, that is not something I can control."

A glimmer of hope flashed in the Sixth Lady's eyes, but she was a little hesitant.

"Sixth Aunt, please get up quickly. If you continue like this, I will be exhausted." Lin Ruoxuan said softly.

But the Sixth Madam was still kneeling on the ground, her clothes already soaked with tears, and she almost lowered her head, even everything in front of her seemed a little blurry.

She continued to plead, "Ruoxuan, if you are willing to say a word for me, everything will be solved. My sister-in-law and his concubines have already proposed a divorce, and only my sixty-year-old mother is left at home. If this continues, the Sun family will really be finished, and there will be no place to survive."

Her voice was low and trembling, and the tears in her eyes almost made her face look even more haggard.

The Sixth Madam must get Lin Ruoxuan's personal promise, otherwise she will not be able to feel at ease.

Looking at all this, the old women around couldn't help but sigh, and many of them began to shake their heads.
